I think doing homework and school work on computers is good because it gets us ready for highschool and collage when you have to use coputers. I also like it because it is more iteresting then a pencil and paper.

I have used technology to support my learning in the past, such as, Podcasts, and a Smart-Board.
Intrests I have in learning with tecnology are, it will be a fun, interesting change, and it seems like it would help students show more potencial, using electronics, which is what we seem to be most comfortible using.
I think technology will support my learning by helping me learn how to fix my error’s more effectivly, and help us undestand more of what we are doing.

In the past technology has helped me out alot because it has all different programs for writing and other things that help us learn more about it. Technology interests me alot when it comes to school work because we get to use all these softwares and programs,like when asking us to make a poster, we can use the internet to make one and print it off instead of using a HUGE piece of paper that we have to fill up. I think tecnology can help us alot in learning because it has programs to do things and it lets us explore the world wide web.

I think technogly is a better way of learning and wrigting. I say that because typing is a faster way the wrigtning on a peice of paper. I have used technogly in the past for homework use as podcasts, and for hockey and lacrosse stats. I do belive that using computers this year is going to be a better way insted of having to look at the chalk board all day. I like technogly because i think i will excel with my computer tech neaks and no more about computers. I think it is going to be a good thing for this upcoming year

I think using laptops and other forms of technology in schools are a good learning experience for students because much of the world is computerized now so it’s good to learn before your out in the world on your own. Also it sort of puts a bit more fun on learning so you can interact more with your work. It kind of puts a new twist on computers instead of just in the computer labs they’re in the classroom too.

I like technology because I can learn alot more. Faster. Its not boring, Its defenatly better than pencil and paper. Technology has what the pencil and paper has and more wraped up in a giant package that billions use on a daily basis without knowing how much they can learn. its benefitted me because I can look a topic I want to know more about and find it in under a second!

I have used technology to help support my learning by doing a podcast in grade 6 and also using a smart board in french and regular class. What interests me in using technology for future school assignments is being able to use computers at school! =] My ideas for using technology to help us learn is you can search up information for progects and eventually you will learn about stuff.

I think that lattops will be a great sucsess in the next few years. I think this because they are portable and you can take them were you go. There is also downs sides to laptops one would be is that they are not cheap to buy but last a good long time if you take care of them problarly.

Technology can help improve how a student learns by helping them use different programs and it will help them hand in assignments faster. When kids are using technology they can experiance different ways of learning, like they could look up important information on a computer instead of through books which may be harder.Technology can get kids away from the boring books and look into the new exciting life of technology.
This is the end our comment I hope you enjoy reading it! Thank you!

I have used technology in the past to support my learning by, using computers to research my assignments/projects, making podcasts and just finding information that I didn’t know before.
I like using technology for assignments because it is a funner way to find information and a better tool for research other than books, because you can find specific information rather than a whole book and looking for just the 1 peice of information you need and taking up time.
My ideas on technology helping me learn better are, playing games help me great because they are 1000 times better and funner than doing an actual work-
sheets. I find I can’t stay on task when teachers/ parents are telling me alot of information, but when I play a math or a educational game its funner for me, and I learn alot more.

I have used technology to support me in the past because when I have an assignment i dont know alot about, I can just look it up on google or something, and find out much more. The things that interest me about using technology to complete school assignments is that it is much easier to read things on the internet. There is so much information there that can help me and teach me more. And thats what school is for. The ideas I have on how technology can support my learning are that you can find almost anything educational on the web and everything we learn in school are almost garenteed to have something about it on the internet.

I have used technology for podcasts and assignments (reseaching information).
What interests me about using technology for school assignments is we get to type it instead of writing it like the last 5-7 years, and its something new to us because theres so many ways to use technology.
Websites and other resourses could help you support your learning.

Hey guys and girls I use T.V to learn new things on the descovary channel. Most of you would have all cheaked out this station. Anyways i have always wanted to use a laptop for school porpases and now i can actully do it(wich is very great).
What i like about using the computer for educatin is that you dont have to write anything wich is really great evept for when your computer dies. A thing for you guys and girls always have an extra paper and pencils or you will have to ask a friend for paper and peancils.

In the past I have used technology to support my learning. For example, when I first got my laptop it had a broken hard drive. So me and my dad replaced the hard drive using instructions on a website. It was a very fun experience and I learned how the inside of the computer works.
I like to use my computer because in the future we will be using lots of technology. Its almost like we are getting a head start because as we get older the technology will get more advanced so it is good that we are starting with it now.

i have used tecnology before to complete many tasks like typing good copys for stories and for geting pictures for projects. I like using tecnology to complete assignments because i think it is alot quicker than writing with a pencil and paper.Over all i think that technology will make learning alot more fun for kids.

The technologhy that we have used the passed year are laptops/netbook. We have used thease devices for langue. Typing up assments mostly. We have used them mostly for resurch. Like last year. Before we went to African Lion Safari we had to pick an animal and do resurch on the rare animal. So when we when we obserbed the animal we knew more about the animal. The most technologhy that we have used is this mechanical, big, chalk bord called Smart Board! We mostly use it for math. So that we can study as one big class!
The thing that interest me the most about learning we technologhy is that we learn new ways of how to use technologhy for differnt things.
Technologhy can help suport my learning because it a faster way to get things do. Its an easyer way to get things done.
Technologhy isnt best for everything. But I think its best for school! And senice I fininsh my work done early, I get to practice hockey more!
